President Reach Of Philadelphia is entitled
to the credit OF tnaugurating this method. He
came South early In the game. So to speak. and
spread his nets. First he broke up the Savan-
nah Club by tempting the directors to sell their
McLaughlin. Charleston's second baseman.
Mr.. Reach took care to corrupt McLaughlin
fret by tempting offer. Mclaughlin began
to pile up errors instead Of hits and runs, and
finally Reach offered the directors $500 for him,
which was accepted. The sale. you see, WAS
In q measure a forced one. 1t nearly broke
up the club, but the team rallied. q new second
baseman was secured, and finally the team be-
gan to play good ball again. Meanwhile Roach
went out West and made some more pur-
oheses. Mr.. Stearns. President OF the Cincin-
matt Club, next appeared on the scene, It IS

reliable. and had great staying powers gener-
ally, pitching better In the ninth than In the
first Inning. Stearns wrote to tho President OF
the Charleston Club, Offering him $1,000 for
Smith. The offer was declined. Then came tho

one inning he struck out three mon In success
